For Pooh Shiesty, the next phase is now locked in. A federal court has reportedly set July 6 as the official trial date for Pooh Shiesty. his father. and seven additional co-defendants. The case is connected to a federal robbery and kidnapping matter tied to an alleged incident at a Dallas recording studio earlier this year.
The date was confirmed through a court order filed Tuesday, setting the stage for the high-profile case to move forward in Texas federal court.
Prosecutors say the confrontation played out inside a music studio where Gucci and others were reportedly present earlier this year. In court filings, armed individuals allegedly entered the studio and used threats and intimidation during a confrontation involving multiple victims.
Prosecutors further allege that Pooh Shiesty—whose real name is Lontrell Williams Jr.—played a significant role in the incident. At one point, he is alleged to have pulled out an AK-style firearm while confronting one of the victims, Gucci Mane.
The allegations also center on what prosecutors say the victims were forced to endure. Federal authorities allege that victims were robbed of Rolex watches, jewelry, cash, and other valuables during the ordeal. Prosecutors also claim that at least one victim—reportedly Gucci Mane—was allegedly forced to sign contractual release paperwork.
Those documents were allegedly connected to a recording agreement while the victim was being threatened at gunpoint. Prosecutors further allege that others were prevented from leaving the studio during the confrontation.
The kidnapping-related claims are where social media attention has been especially intense. Federal charges tied to holding victims against their will can carry major consequences if convictions occur.
But for now, these are still allegations. All defendants remain presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Roomies are watching closely for what comes next as the trial date approaches, and the courtroom version of the story prepares to begin—separate from the posts, clips, and speculation that have been swirling around the case for months.
